OH, what I wouldn’t give to be able to fit into my acid wash Guess overalls from seventh grade. I’d wear them to the MAC counter on March 3 (with one strap up and one down, of course) to welcome the limited edition MAC Jeanius Collection. 🙂

To any and all denim angels listening, please take pity on my 35-year-old bum. It longs to fit into a pair of size 7 juniors pants.

OOOH GURL. I think I might have that color somewhere in my stash. I have to go digging. Hopefully I can find it, because for some reason several of my MAC lip colors have gone MIA. I honestly think Tabs has been gathering and hiding the tubes somewhere. He gets obsessed with certain things. A while ago it was socks…

So I was at work and I was searching your blog for the new Cover Girl Lip Perfection post (I was gonna buy some) because I wanted to see the swatches, but I can’t find the post to save my life! Where’d it go?!

Meh, I think I’m gonna pass on this one. It all looks like stuff I’ve seen before from MAC or already have. Wow-that’s probably a first for me in a few years!Tracy recently posted … Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara

Love your blog (this is my first post)! There was a Jeans de Chanel on *bay that ended just today, I was so tempted, but figured I probably shouldn’t use makeup that old (and $50 is a lot just to have another collectible stashed in my drawers). I love Chanel palettes, how long do you think they are good for? I usually don’t use palettes if they’re more than a year old or so, mainly because I find new ones to buy! I still love the Tokyo happening palette (as rediculously sparkly as it is), I’d love to find one of the new Asian exclusive glow powders that look a little more subtle!

I think the little rivets in the eyeshadows are too cute, but I’m not otherwise in love with those colors. I do like the nail lacquers though, and will probably end up with both of them lol.Kaitlyn recently posted … 8 Things that are in my purse right now!

Pass. Sooo not my colours. The only thing I could check out is the Pink Cult Blush, but we are going to get at least four collections next week – WW, cremeblends, supreme sheens, VG – so this collection will be the last in the line (if it’s coming, I’m not sure).

OMG I’m sad I missed the Chanel collection too.. It came out when I was 13 and after seeing it in a magazine, I became obsessed! But of course at that age, I only had enough cash to go buy makeup at Long’s (aka CVS!)kali recently posted … Illamasqua Cream Blusher in Rude Review &amp Swatches

I’m not really interested in my collection but I’m kicking myself for missing the Chanel Jeans de Chanel collection. That was gorgeous! And so is Tabs. 🙂gio recently posted … Looks- Waiting For A Dazzling Spring

I mainly wear flats actually, apart from one pair of summer wedges. I walk everywhere (inc. 30 mins to go to work) so flat boots or Converse make things move faster!

I’d love to wear heels more often (usually leave them in my bag), but I can’t find shoes that are comfortable enough to walk in. Any particular brand you’d recommend? (PS: I’ll quickly complain that Nine West shoes are nice and padded, but painfully narrow for my feet)

For comfort, Aerosoles heels are really great. They’ve gotten surprisingly hip in the last few years. I got this pair of yellow heels from them a few years ago and to this day they’re my “comfort” heels:

I love the shadow designs (the rivets are adorable), but I’m not crazy for any of the colors. That said, the polishes, especially Biker Blue, look awesome. I don’t remember hearing good things about MAC polishes, though. Did you say you found them to be a bit hard to apply and not so chip-resistant?

Yeah, I haven’t always had the best of luck with them. I find that the finish isn’t always as shiny as I’d like. Of course that can always be fixed with a good top coat, but still. If I’m in a hurry I want to have the option to just polish and go, ya know?

I love the look of the eyeshadows in this collection, especially Motorhead! I wish the design wasn’t an overspray, though.

Have you tried Jean Queen, Lipstick Queen’s take on denim-friendly lip color that came out last year? I picked up Jean Queen lipstick, which is a super-flattering sheer pink, and I find myself reaching for it quite often (even when I’m not wearing jeans).

I have perpetually chapped lips, and I love the texture of Jean Queen — soothing and moisturizing, without the heavy feel that some other hydrating lipsticks have. When I wear it, I usually only need to touch up the color after lunch and dinner, so I’d say the wear time is at least 4 hours for me, if not more.

The other Lipstick Queen product I wear often is Medieval, a sheer red lip tint that’s really pretty and very moisturizing.

As a longtime fan of Poppy King, the woman behind the Lipstick Queen line, I also have to recommend her book “Lessons of a Lipstick Queen”. A great read for both cosmetics junkies and anyone who owns (or dreams of owning) a business. My husband, who is a business professor, even uses it as a text in his entrepreneurship classes!

I really want to see how pigmented the eyeshadows are, and whether or not the rivet color goes all the way through, but mostly I like the more neutral pink lipstick, lipglass, and blush. Those I will probably own by March 4th.AnieJ recently posted … Beautiful in Every Way – Burberry Sheer Compact Foundation
